Dr Faiza Shaheen is a self-confessed stats geek and social mobility success story: from a working class background, she got into Oxford and is now a leading statistician, ceo of CLASS thinktank, and a visiting professor at NYU. But when her mother died after her benefits were cut by austerity measures, she decided to embark on a career in politics. When she lost in the 2019 election to incumbent Iain Duncan Smith, Shaheen decided to reframe her story, and set her own narrative against the statistics she researches.
The result is Know Your Place: how society sets us up to fail - part memoir, part polemic, this is a personal and statistical look at how society is built, the people it leaves behind, and what we can do about it. For readers of Invisible Women and Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race, this is a compelling and insightful read which will change the way we think about opportunity in Britain.
Dr Faiza Shaheen is currently a Visiting Professor in Practice at the London School of Economics. She has worked as an economist, policy advisor and political commentator, authoring a range of materials and publications covering the most salient social and economic debates of our times, including inequality, austerity, immigration, housing and youth unemployment. Her most recent policy report was launched by the former prime minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern, as well as six other national leaders on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. In 2017, she was named the Observer Rising Star for Campaigning and nominated as Asian Woman of the Year at the Asian Achievers Awards.
Faiza has been selected by the Labour Party to contest her home seat of Chingford and Woodford Green against the former leader of the Conservative Party, Iain Duncan Smith, at the next general election.
